Pamela’s Diner, Art, and Work/Life Balance.

J and I have one thing in common – we’re both workaholics. After the 9-5 grind my weekends are consumed by art, shows and related business tasks. It’s been this way for years and I’m not gonna lie, it’s an exhausting routine. However, we have a new tradition to ring in the weekend – before heading out to work, we have brunch together. It’s nice because it gives us a chance to reconnect and face our respective workdays in a positive light. Our last two brunches have been at Pamela’s Diner, and I must say that it’s pretty groovy place with good diner fare. Besides the food, I really like the art and decor there. Here are a few of my favorite pieces from Pamela’s collection:

Wall painting of John Lennon

Comic-style decorative art near the restaurant entrance.

Another large wall painting of Janis Joplin.

I would’ve liked to get more, but this place is a hotspot in Oakland so it’s pretty crowded.

After brunch I felt ready to seize the day. Today’s tasks included working on the new site and related business tasks, as well as another art show project that I was invited to. More on that later. Here’s a snap from my Moleskine, it’s a sketch of one of the pieces that may be included:

More on that one later ;).

Marlana Adele Vassar

Largely self-taught as an artist, Vassar's philosophy of balancing style and substance has attracted a diverse audience to her work. Using figures as the primary subjects, she weaves symbolism and surrealism throughout her art, creating images that are personal yet open to interpretation.
